Keg tank
« on: March 28, 2013, 05:47:15 PM »
Next week I'm buying a 15 gallon keg off a guy and want to make it my gas tank. I've looked around for video but haven't found any. Does anyone have a video or set of pics that can kind of give me a tutorial on how to do it correctly and kind of a heads up on the usual beginner screw ups to look out for?

here is a picture of one using a tequila bottle for a gas gauge . Harbour Freight sells those big leather belts that this guy used for tank straps .

That's a smear idea. I'll have to use that idea. Of course ill need to use a bourbon bottle, there's plenty of those Latin around

That is a great idea. I love the bottle set up, nice and easy way to check your fuel level.
Love building rat rods, driving mustangs, and building websites.
